Tyr MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Tyr? Tyr is an ENTJ personality type in MBTI, 1w9 - sp/so - 153 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, ESI in Socionics.
Tyr, known to be both the Nordic god of war and the protector of the Thing, has to be able to set and enforce rules. At the same time he must also be able to ensure that any rules handed out add up and are just, and that any proceedings before the Thing result in valid decisions without lengthily pondering them. Also, Tyr is known to take on things by himself if it's necessary to break a deadlock (as can be seen when Fenris had to be dealt with and none of the other gods opted to offer a pawn).
Biography
One of Odin's sons by Frigga, Tyr is the god of the sword and courage, and watches over battles with as much interest as Odin himself. He is also the godly law enforcer, using his impressive swordsmanship to uphold order. Tyr is considered to be the most honorable of the Aesir, as well as the bravest of the brave. Tyr has only one hand, for he lost the other in the service of his fellow gods. Legend has it that the Fenris Wolf was prophesied to be one of the greatest threats the Aesir would face. The mighty Fenris Wolf was savaging much of Asgard, and the gods were unable to stop him until the dwarves forged a golden leash capable of holding the beast. The gods bet the wolf that it couldn't snap the chain, but the creature smelled a trap. The suspicious wolf would not agree to the contest unless one of the gods put a hand in his mouth to guarantee his release if the leash could not be broken. The fearless Tyr complied without hesitation, and lost his hand when the wolf realized he was trapped. He chose to pay the price for his comrades' broken promise. See, Tyr hates liars and oath-breakers, and those who make a living from deception disgust him. He's fair and lawful in all things, and mortals look to his example when instituting laws for their societies. He guarantees every promise he makes, and watches over every battle fought lawfully. Tyr even invented the notion of the trial by duel. He's also known for making sure the Valkyries bring only the most deserving mortal warriors to Valhalla. Tyr's life is tangled up with monstrous wolves. At Ragnarok, he and Garm are destined to die fighting each other. In his true form, he is a bearded, fierce-looking warrior missing one hand.
